A recently repeated episode of daytime TV favourite A Place In The Sun contained a stark warning for anyone in the UK wishing to move to Spain. And the advice presenter Laura Hamilton gave about property prices still remains relevent more than six months after the episode was first screened.
The sunny European country remains one of the most popular choices for expats, as it's often seen as an affordable place to buy a house. But those who are serious about buying a property there are being warned to do their research, especially on what they can afford.
It follows an episode of the Channel 4 show where one person was given a reality check by presenter Laura Hamilton, which first aired in July 2022. Spain, once a hot spot for cheap property in the sun, may not offer the goods that it once did, Hamilton said, having been asked to help home seeker Jennie find a holiday home in the Costa del Sol with a budget of just £85,000.
